    Not sure it matters. Could a decentralised open protocol become a mammoth? Hope so

      Hope so

      Lol. But on a more serious note, I don’t think it’ll happen until we reach the tipping point of non-tech people getting on it. I had a friend who tried it years ago and it was all just tech nerds so he eventually fell off of it. Yes the business and personalities side of it is big too, but I don’t think it’ll happen until people are joining because their irl friends are on it

        I feel there are a few too many of those already.

        I don’t think mastodon would ever be a destination for teens. But the idea that maybe one group of your mates in on service x and another on service y and you can connect due to a shared protocol is still a draw.

    @yogthos if it becomes a mammoth (hopefully not) it could become ugly and cumbersome. I was seeing every third post in my Facebook news feed an advertisement, many of which were scams.

    That’s why I am here instead of on Facebook.

      The beauty of Mastodon is in the fact that it’s decentralized. No matter how big the networks grows, there will always be small servers that cater to niche interests.
